Hello
No, that's not possible.
Once the invoice has been finalized, it can't be changed. You can cancel the subscription and create a new one instead.

#

So can i delay the creation of the invoice until I am confirming the payment?

#

this is on initial creation of the subscription by the way

#

also if I do decide to cancel the subscription and create a new one, would I need to reload the paymentElement?

#

You'd want to delay the creation of the subscription as there's no way to control invoice creation for a subscription

I see

#

okay

#

another thing, I couldn't find a way of adding shipping costs to a subscription, so I created a product for shipping

#

is shipping something you can change on an invoice? or is it literally anything that generates any kind of cost?

#

sorry let me reword that

#

can i actually add shipping costs separately on a subscription?

#

and then amend them after the subscription has been created

#

You can add it as an invoice item: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/invoices/subscription#first-invoice-extra

and then amend them after the subscription has been created
Not sure what you mean by that. Can you elaborate on the usecase?

#

say I have shipping options, one is free and one is £5

#

and I load the checkout page

#

and decide to change my address

#

this changes my shipping cost

#

could I then update the subscription to reflect this?

#

it's looking a lot like i'm going to need to tear apart my checkout page ahha
